The figures of the report state that we all eat about 1,769 particles of plastic each week just from drinking water. Meanwhile, micro-plastics are also found in shellfish, beer and salt.

The conclusions

We all consume more than 250 Grams of plastic per year.

The average person could be ingesting approximately 5 Grams of micro-plastic every week.

Plastic pollution affects the natural environment of most species on the planet.

The single largest source of plastic ingestion is through water, both bottled and tap water.

Alec Taylor, head of marine policy at the WWF, said the report:

“must serve as a wake-up call to the UK Government”

, adding:

“We don’t want plastic in our ocean, and we don’t want it on our plates. If we’re going to properly address the throwaway plastic pollution crisis, we need urgent action at government, business and consumer levels to tackle its root causes head on.”

Mr Taylor called on leaders to create a global and legally-binding agreement to halt plastic pollution.

The long-term consequences of plastic ingestion are not yet fully understood.

Plastic pollution affects the natural environment of most species on the planet.

Make your Tap Water Safe to drink again with a ZeroWater Jug

Well now, there is a much safer way to drink water, and it will save you money – you can buy a ZeroWaterwater filter jug. These water filter jugs work like filtration systems – the filter traps all sorts of total dissolved solids, impurities, metals, contaminants and micro-plastic or fibers that maybe present in your local water supply.

The fact we all eat 5 grams of micro-plastic per week is alarming. Which makes the ZeroWater Jug a must have for all families in Britain today.

The filter is supposed to be replaced every few weeks since it can get saturated over time as all filters do. But the great thing about the ZeroWater water filter jugs is that not only are they great for purifying water, they are also very affordable.

Instead of spending lots of money every year buying bottled water you will only need to buy a single water filter jug once every few years, and since they don’t cost much you don’t have to worry about that. You will also need to buy spare filters, but these are also very affordable.
